I didn't say that Apple was first- just pointed out that the "grid icons are actually from palm pilots" claim was pretty weak.

And I was pointing out earlier icon grid examples, not what was stolen.

Umm, did you ever see Apple's Newton? Its icon grid preceded Palm by years.

When I need to refer to the Urban Dictionary to interpret the fevered imagination of an Apple anti-fanboi, I know that the argument is getting heated up...

It's fun to indulge one's imagination, isn't it?

Another cat here. Wow- that was quite a ride.

I'm running OS X 10.5.7 on Intel w/latest Safari 4. This thing also fired up iChat, created many blank emails, and- most worrisome- launched Terminal. Yikes- time to pay attention to that "don't run as admin" advice.

There were over a hundred open Terminal windows by the time I regained control. Four different types of Terminal screens:

==== 1 ====

login: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

[Process completed]

==== 2 ====

login: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

[Process exited - exit code 1]

==== 3 ====

Could not open a new pseudo-tty.

==== 4 ====

Trying 1.1.1.1...

==========

Any opinions on how bad this was?

I see this all the time, and I just disagree. I view the iPhone as "Blackjack Joe" does: "To me, despite the name iPhone, I consider it a Internet access device first, an iPod second, and a phone last."

Being a phone is the most important thing for many people -- but not all...
